What about bleading the clutch by yourself?? Whats the easy/inexpensive way?

you could get a self bleeding bleeder screw. Or the cheap way is ask someone to help...

BTW if you're intalling a new clutch you will have FAR less problems if you take the time to take off your flywheel and have it resurfaced. If you dont do this some clutch warranties will not cover damage done by used, warped flywheels. Taking off the flywheel is another pain. IF you get it off and resurfaced, you MUST torque the flywheel nut to 300-350 ft/lbs. or else very bad things will happen. Good luck.
